A multimedia optical disc for recording main video data which is composed
of sets of frame data that is processed beforehand to allow compatibility
with displays of a plurality of aspect ratios. The disc has a stream area
storing streams made up of the main video data and a plurality of sets of
sub-picture data, with each set of sub-picture data including a set of
tel-op data and a set of coordinate information showing a display
position of the set of tel-op data. The disc also includes a control area
storing a plurality of pairings of a set of display mode information and
a set of sub-picture indicating information. Each set of display mode
information shows a species of display method according to which the
frame data is to be processed for a case when the frame data decoded from
the main video data is displayed at one of the plurality of aspect
ratios. Each set of sub-picture indicating information shows a set of
sub-picture data, out of the plurality of sets of sub-picture data in a
same stream as the main video data, which includes a set of coordinate
information which coincides with the species of display method shown by
the display mode information.
